“Our police personnel are fighting on the front line against terrorism and crime, and it is our responsibility to provide them with all necessary facilities,” said the Chief Minister. “The provincial government stands firmly with its police force in the mission to establish lasting peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.”
He further added that the supply of bulletproof vehicles worth Rs 1.89 billion was already underway, reflecting the government’s continued efforts to equip the police with modern and secure resources.
